As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton and the dead are returning to life! Feisty hero*ine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she’s soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr.
So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all new scenes of bone crunching zombie mayhem. It may just be the greatest story never told.It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains. It's the beginning of an adventure that will see them fight the last magical creatures of the Old Testament cross paths with biblical figures like Pontius Pilate and John the Baptist and finally deliver them to Egypt. But when Herod's men begin to slaughter the first born in Judea, he has no choice but to help them escape to Egypt. The last thing Balthazar needs is to be slowed down by young Joseph, Mary and their infant. After a daring escape from Herod's prison, they stumble upon the famous manger and its newborn king.
In Grahame-Smith's telling, the so-called "Three Wise Men" are infamous thieves, led by the dark, murderous Balthazar. But leave it to Seth Grahame-Smith, the brilliant and twisted mind behind Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies to take a little mystery, bend a little history, and weave an epic tale. But what do we really know about the Three Kings of the Nativity, besides the fact that they followed a star to Bethlehem bearing strange gifts? The Bible has little to say about this enigmatic trio. They're an iconic part of history's most celebrated birth.
From the author of the New York Times bestselling Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, comes UNHOLY NIGHT, the next evolution in dark historical revisionism.
